Identification of novel germline mutations in hereditary colorectal cancer patients and characterization of somatic alterations in their tumors [PDF]
Colorectal cancer has been reported as the third leading cause of cancer related death in the world. About 5-10% of colorectal cancers are due to an inherited predisposition.

Unified classification and risk-stratification in Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Classification and risk-stratification for Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) at diagnosis are primarily based on cytogenetics and only a few gene mutations. Here, the authors study the genomic landscape of 3653 AML patients and characterize 16 non-overlapping

Identification of Somatic Mutation-Driven Immune Cells by Integrating Genomic and Transcriptome Data
Tumor somatic mutations in protein-coding regions may generate neoantigens which may trigger antitumor immune cell response. Increasing evidence supports that immune cell response may profoundly influence tumor progression.

We present here COOBoostR, a computational method designed for the putative prediction of the tissue- or cell-of-origin of various cancer types. COOBoostR leverages regional somatic mutation density information and chromatin mark features to be applied ...

A practical guide for mutational signature analysis in hematological malignancies
Mutational signature analysis provides important information about the mutational processes underpinning different stages of tumorigenesis. Here, the authors compare publicly available signature extraction tools and suggest a framework for the generation

Factors influencing cancer genetic somatic mutation test ordering by cancer physician
Background Clinical whole exome sequencing was introduced in an Australian centre in 2017, as an alternative to Sanger sequencing. We aimed to identify predictors of cancer physicians’ somatic mutation test ordering behaviour.

Genomic landscape and chronological reconstruction of driver events in multiple myeloma
Multiple myeloma evolves continuously. Here the authors chronologically reconstruct driver events in multiple myeloma, noting a limited repertoire of initiating driver events that shape the evolutionary trajectory of the disease.

MutEnricher: a flexible toolset for somatic mutation enrichment analysis of tumor whole genomes
Background Analysis of somatic mutations from tumor whole exomes has fueled discovery of novel cancer driver genes. However, ~ 98% of the genome is non-coding and includes regulatory elements whose normal cellular functions can be disrupted by mutation ...
